Start over | Kim Seungmin

08: Don't be upset

"Uwahh... I'm so full..." I stretched after I finished the comforting food, I then went over to my bed and got on my phone again since I was getting bored, I wanted to talk to someone, I felt a bit too lonely, but I can't just clung onto Seungmin.

'Who's best friends with their bully who hasn't apologized in years? Maybe I should get on--'

Kng.hyejinn is now going live

'Haven't seen her in a long time...'

I decided to click on her live.

The live video loads, I could see the long haired girl and the tall boy behind her, what a surprise that Seungmin is in one of her lives, that was probably forced...

'Sht... Is she back to school?? I'm screwed...' I winced at the thought in pure fear, fear I'll not only have one but two bullies again.

How was France?

I typed out, hopefully she had forgotten who I was by now. But had not forgotten me enough to think I was one of her fans.

Seungmin's pov:

Yy/n joined the live

I widened my eyes as I stared down at Hyejin's phone screen, my face lit up at the text displayed. My glance went to the side to see her still blabbering on her day.

"How was France?-- oh, it's Y/n..." She murmured, the long haired girl let out a condescending chuckle with a hand covering her mouth before smiling, I scoffed silently, turning away.

"The weirdo joined..." She mouthed, I noticed but shrugged it off as an hallucination.

"France was finee... How about you Y/n are you still so weak that you have to stay home... Hm??" Hyejin taunted, irritated, I shot my head at her in annoyance "Tsk..." I hitted her shoulder with a frown, she only continued to act like a typical popular mean girl.

"What?? I'm just being nice..! Our little
Y/n-ie deserves a little rest after working her ass off all day..." I rolled my eyes and went back to be silent, sitting awkwardly.

God damn it, if I could leave I would, but unfortunately she'd tell my father off I've been bullying a student.

I flashed a quick smile and nodded as a greeting to the viewer Y/n.

Y/n's pov

My eyebrows furrowed at her tease, I thinned my lips and looked down, I left the live as I didn't think she accepted me.

'Fck fck fck! Can't stand her! She might be more annoying than Seungmin...' I thought with a subconscious grumble

'Why was Seungmin helping me? That character switch up...'

'... Cute...'

'God he can't hang around Hyejin again...'

After a quite a while of zoning out, "What the hell am I thinking!" I whined and covered my flustered face. At this point I felt nothing but a want of attention from him, like he gave me yesterday...

I don't think want Hyejin to interfere with the chance of Seungmin becoming my friend.

Friend?

"Oh God no! He still has to apologize f-for w-what he did..." I stared at the ceiling, gulping, my mind running a mess.

'Do I hate him or...'

'Do I really want to be friends?'

'Friends?'

'It's too hopeless...' I groaned, rubbing my face over and over again.

"Y/n? What happened to your knee?" Mom suddenly suspects, didn't it heal already? Oh why didn't I wore long pants... Why did she barge in like that...

I tilted my head and quickly sat down on the bed, glancing at my right scrapped knee before chuckling softly.

"I--..." My voice trailed off, my hands shaked in fear she would catch my lie and I'll have to talk about him.

She walked into my room, I took a deep breath before she interrupts my attempt to talk.

"Is someone bothering you? Is it Seungmin?" She's not so stupid as I thought she would be huh?

I gulped and my eyes darted away from her worried eyes, nodding awkwardly as she let out a sharp gasp.

"Mom it's not that serious! He--"

"The kid from pre-school right?! That little shit-"

What the hell?

"Mom!" My hoarse voice scratched and sighed "You haven't met him in the past 5 years what makes you think he's still that you quote 'little shit' hm?" She sighed in defeat, she sat down in the side of my bed, she doesn't say anything but I can tell she decided to listening.

"It was just an accident, he bumped into me during that rain..." I mumbled, she blinked a couple times before she lets out another sigh, this time it sounded like acceptance.

"Is he really the only person you are comfortable with?" I nodded, still looking away.

"Mom, please..." I'm losing hope. I'm never going to find friends other than a shitty delinquent...

"Y/n... Do you have trouble when making friends?" I nodded at the question. She only sighed, without a second of thinking she gave a half-hearted idea.

"Just be yourself okay? People would really like your energetic and sweet personality!" My mother was probably referring to my younger self, the one that grew so very attached to her, the one that they rejected and made fun of for years.

I grumbled and turned away, slowly putting her words into consideration, maybe just "being myself" and greet people wouldn't be so bad...

A/N: idk what I'm writing :(... I'm sorry for this short and disappointing chapter I hadn't realized how much days I stopped writing! I promise I'll get back on track shortly - Saturnxneptune
